I'm sitting here naked and nervous because all week the property rental folks have been coming by to show my apartment claiming they notified me by phone the day before. The past few times this has simply been untrue, and has resulted in me dashing to my dresser at the sound of keys jangling outside my door. Fortunately, I keep my chain lock on all...

So I've finally fessed up to my SG membership. I expect my good pal Lindsey, and possibly Ed, who's kind of weird and zot-bait at some naive, pure level, will be signing up shortly. Then the only contact I'll have with the people here in the MA program, a group of people about to be flung to the furthest corners of this wide country, never...

i am very very impressed. geekiness will get you everywhere. 
p.s. oh my lawks, i just reread your post: the globalization music thinger--right now the huuuugest trend in "the rap music" is using indian/pakistani samples. would this work? an example would be something like Redman and Eric Sermon's "React." (i might have the name wrong. i'm not cool enough.) also i feel like jay-z and some group called "Truth Hurts" did similar things. Okay, I'm a big dork, and I'll toddle off and drink some milk and have some nice cookies.

So, my week in Toronto...
No. I went to school for four years there; let's be specific.
So I went to the Book Expo trade show, which was cool because I always wind up standing in the way of famous authors and editors. I saw just about everyone from my old store there, or rather, they saw me. It's nice to know my legend lives...

I might be loser #1 on SG. I return home after an absence of 5 days and there's a single reply in my journal. Thank you, Scattershot.
Actually, I'm a really big loser because not getting replies in my journal actually makes me kind of sad.

I totally understand coming here to lift your mood. I'm off to the chat to complain to as many people as possible about my stupid, self-centered bridesmaids. I can't cut them, because I don't need that kind of drama right now, but I've already planned on pretty much making no big effort to keep them in my life after the wedding (how sad and mean is that?).
I'm sorry you don't know when you'll see your girl again. That sucks.

Tomorrow afternoon I'll be leaving for Toronto for a few days to a) see my chickie, and b) look for a job so I don't have to live in my mother's basement when my time here is up.

what about road island, its neither a road nor an Island... can we discuss that.
I'll say this once and be done with it.
If someone has just been told they may be terminally ill, it is stupid--not heartless or mean, for I realize it springs from the best intentions--to say things like, "you can beat this thing." Death happens. And just because those who appear to cheat death call themselves "strong" (usually on Maury Povich or Oprah), it doesn't...

I wish I could afford to buy McSweeney's all the time. I only have the one that came with the CD. I like Doughty & TMBG.
I suffer extreme hankering for McSweeney's Mammoth Treasury of Thrilling Tales.

Okay, if you ever have a party like that, you better write a journal about it, too. That would be hot. hehe.
And I meant myself no disrespect by the slut comment.

Played yesterday. Didn't fuck up too badly. Didn't bore them too badly either. Alex says she'll look into setting up some gigs around town later in June.
Then it will all be over. We'll all go to our respective corners of the country, likely to never meet again, and so ends the greatest year of my life.
Bought 3 CDs today: I can't stop spending...

Today I play before an audience, albeit a small one, for the first time in about 5 years.
And I'm going to see if I can meet Robbie Robertson, who's in town to receive an honourary doctorate.
My dog is watching you.

Would "Break a leg!" be appropriate, or is that only for theatre? Superstitions confuse me. How about "Have fun!"? :-D
I ain't gonna work for Maggie's brother no more. I mean, he hands you a nickel, he hands you a dime, he asks you with a grin if you're having a good time, and he finds you every time you slam the door. I ain't gonna work for Maggie's brother no more.
Asshole.

I've been playing like a lunatic. Alex wanted us to play at a party last week, but it was supposed to be a barbecue, it was raining, the playing never happened. But the party will happen this Friday, and we will play.
I hadn't played at all for years until the end of April. Now I'm a real guitar player--solos, fills, improvised accompaniment, you name...

I'm going insane. The warm weather has arrived and the skirts are everywhere. Long ones that flash leg as they walk. I follow and watch the wrestling buttocks, squirming beneath maddeningly thin denim. I want to fuck till I die. I swear if I was single I'd just fuck everything that I could get my hands on. Girls, boys, you name it.
Fuck, fuck, fuck,...

Just killed a moth. It pained me to do it: I just kept remembering that scene in Rhys' "Wide Sargasso Sea" where Antoinette picks up the enormous tropical moth and calls him something like 'handsome soldier'. Me, I'm just freaked out by an insect with that kind of body mass. I just don't like bugs.
